The holocaust did not happen.
Most of books related to the third reich are political propaganda.
Set the record straight this was a socialist,nationalist and very populist party. It almost merged with the national socialists at one point to put it that way and had the same idealists of that party. and anti-semitism was VERY strong at europe at this time even with figures you wouldn't expect at all and a core part of socialism even,it has always been strong in europe and has only dissipated very recently due to the leftist media so you have to understand how ordinary those sentiments where.

'Thou' and 'thee' get every female's panties wet. Go on, just try using them instead of 'you' when chatting up a chickadee. Throw in some 'verily's too and you'll be set.

Also the story is finished, you can read about it online - although it's mostly theories and they are very speculative.

Besides The Man who Would Be King this is the only book I've ever just stopped reading abruptly.
It's so boring. How is anyone expected to gain anything from the experience of reading if all your doing is forcing yourself through the drivel to be able to say you "got it".
There's a line between challenging the reader by making them really examine what's being written instead of being distracted by prose and just creating a bland read and this book definitely crossed it.
/lit/ is usually right but you guys really bungled this one.

Literally what is the point of "post-modern literary techniques" when Delillo can convey all those sentiments and themes in simple, non-meme language?

The book was garbage, friendo.
This is the kind of shit that gets laughed at by Pynchos. Short declarative sentences about fake disaffected New York life. Fuck off.

DELET THIS!!!!!!
Are there any writers that deal with the lack of alignment between beliefs and actions and whether they are sincere beliefs if you don't act on them.
For example: I believe that I should, say, be sincerely loving and attentive when interacting with people but usually I am seemingly uncontrollably disinterested and mean spirited.
This seems like it might be what Kierkegaard talks about when dealing with subjective truth but maybe I'm off.
Any writers/books that deal with this ideas and how to stop/mitigate this interminable dissonance

i'm 22. just worked after high school, always had it in my mind to go back to school but the past four years just flew by and now i am regretting not going sooner. i want to go to a great books school to study the classics/philosophy, but they are mostly four year majors with no transfers from cc availible, which means i'll be going in with a bunch of 18 year olds. i regret not going when i was younger so much, but i can't change that now. do you have any suggestions for what to do in my situation/where to go to school?

go in the summer semesters. fewer wankers, more older people, and smaller classes. By your third year you can go to regular classes because all the retards have been hopefully filtered out.

>>8010893
that would take so much longer though right? a summer semesters is just half a year of classes i thought.

Just kill yourself. It's too late. You will never have that great college experience you picture now. You could have gone after high school and made long lasting friends and memories. You could be independent with a great job doing what you love right now if you had gone. Now you'll be entering the proessional workforce at 27. If you go you'll be the weird old guy on campus. People will look at you funny when they find out yolu aren't in grad school. You'll be isoated and depressed. Just kill yourself now to save the embarassement.
